Gift Through a Charitable Gift Annuity
A gift that pays you for life…
Create an income for life and a legacy that supports research, patient care, and education at Barrow.
The concept of a gift annuity is simple. You donate assets to Barrow Neurological Foundation and we invest them. You will receive a fixed-income payment each year and continue to receive that payment for life. With the volatility of the stock market, this is a great way to support Barrow and receive a steady income. You can give a gift of cash or stock and potentially receive a partial income tax deduction. In 2022, Congress passed the SECURE ACT 2.0, which gives you the one-time opportunity to create a $50,000 Charitable Gift Annuity with IRA assets. You must be at least 70.5 years old.

Hear from Norm and Carol Miller
They recently created a lasting legacy at Barrow with a planned gift.

We now feel confident that we will have steady income for life while supporting a charity near and dear to our hearts well into the future.
The Miller’s learned that they could use funds from an IRA or appreciated asset, such as stock, to create a Charitable Gift Annuity and reduce their tax burden while also funding their retirement for life.
